During the journey, which was neither short nor long, she witnessed the world described by Tsunade.

Wars between countries, wars between villages, wars between people, all are fought for the benefit of oneself or a larger group of people.

Nohara Lin cannot judge anything. Maybe no one is innocent, and maybe no one is guilty.

They all fought for their villages, fought to protect more loved ones, and fought for peace.

Who can say it's their fault?

But who can say that war is right?

However, when she saw the mother and daughter hugging each other after being displaced, the child who survived the brink of death, and the old man who was grateful with tears for the arrival of peace...

She seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of "a happy place far away".

As she stepped into the distance again, Nohara Lin no longer longed to find a specific answer.

She knew the answer lay in the future.

"But I never thought... that I would forget you..."

Nohara Lin described the appearance of the person in front of her with misty eyes without blinking.

"Haruko..."

The sour pain in her heart spread from the bottom to the top and soaked her body. For a moment, she felt a dull pain all over her body.

Especially the pain that broke out in her heart, which almost made her breathless.

She had clearly promised to always watch over Haruko...

She had clearly confirmed that they would meet many times...

She obviously... shouldn't have forgotten Haruko...

Tears gathered in her eyes and fell, sliding down her face, only to be covered by the next tear.

In her hazy vision, Nohara Lin saw Haruko running towards her anxiously.

pat- pat-

Every step she takes gradually becomes clearer and brighter in Nohara Lin's world.

Nohara Lin seemed to see Uchiha Haruko running towards her.

"Senior sister! Why are you crying?"

In the morning, Haruko hurriedly ran to her, took out a handkerchief from her bag and handed it to her.

But Nohara Lin did not take it. Instead, she took a step forward and hugged her tightly, as if she was hugging back something precious and something she had longed for.

She kept murmuring, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Haruko..."

Haruko Hayama, who was held in her arms, could clearly feel her shoulders trembling, and uncontrollable sobs leaked out from her guilty words.

The strong and mellow emotion enveloped Haruko Zao without a trace, and the extreme sadness chilled her heart.

Haruko couldn't help but feel her heart beating fast in the morning.

Faint thoughts floated through her mind like a dragonfly skimming the water.

She was slightly stunned. What kind of emotion was that?

Why did she feel so sad?

Seeing Nohara Lin crying, she seemed to feel... very heartbroken?

Her body reacted before her mind, and Haruko Asako unconsciously reached out and hugged her back.

He responded to her gently, "It's okay, I'm here."

Suddenly, Nohara Lin's shoulders shook even more violently.

Noticing that everyone around was looking at them, Yuhi Kurenai walked forward, raised her hand, placed it on Nohara Lin's shoulder, and patted it comfortingly.

"Lin, let Morning Haruko rest first, we have to continue our journey tomorrow."

Hearing a surname that was different from what she remembered, Nohara Lin raised her head and revealed her beautiful face filled with tears.

Nohara Lin stared blankly from Yuhi Kurenai's serious face to Asahi Haruko's embarrassed face.

"Morning... Haruko?"

Seeing her nod in agreement, Nohara Lin's tone became anxious, "Haruko, don't you remember me?"

"I remember." Morning Haruko finished the rest of the sentence with her happy expression, "I heard Sister Shizune mention you."

"..."

Slowly, Nohara Lin loosened her arms around Haruko Hayama, took two steps back, and let her hands hang stiffly at her sides.

The hot heart gradually cooled down.

It was at this moment that Nohara Lin discovered the difference of Hayama Haruko who was standing in front of her.

Suddenly, Tsunade's words before she left echoed in her ears -

"Be cheerful, don't let her see you're about to cry."

As if she understood something all of a sudden, Nohara Lin suppressed the heat that was about to spread in her eyes and wiped away the tears that were still falling with the back of her hand.

She took a few deep breaths and forced a smile.

"I just saw... Junior Sister is too happy. You should go and have a rest quickly."

Haruko Zao looked at her forced smile, then looked at Yuhi Kurenai's reassuring eyes, then nodded hesitantly and left.

Nohara Lin just stood there, quietly watching the figure that was exactly the same as in her memory moving away from her.

"Looks alike, doesn't it?" Yuhi Kurenai beside her sighed softly, "I always feel like she is Haruko."

"She is."

Nohara Lin's confident words caused the hesitation in Yuhi Kurenai's heart to fluctuate again.

Facing Yuhi Kurenai's eyes that were eager for an answer, Nohara Lin spoke slowly.

"I can't be wrong. I'm very familiar with Haruko's figure."

……

Everyone quickened their pace and finally arrived at the Sand Village on the afternoon of the third day.

The ninja at the entrance of the village saw Temari and immediately led them to the hospital.

"The ninjas of Konoha have arrived!"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone in the operating room looked towards the door. Temari, who was the first to walk in, rushed to the operating table.

Temari couldn't hide her anxiety after taking a quick look at Kankuro who had his eyes closed on the stage.

"How's Kankuro?"

"He was poisoned by a nerve cell-destroying poison. Here are the toxin ingredients." The medical sand ninja took out a few pieces of paper with a serious expression, "But each one is very complicated."

Chiyo stepped forward with her hands behind her back and said in an old and hoarse voice, "The muscle of his heart is damaged. It may stop beating at any time."

"How could that be!" Temari looked shocked.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Nohara Lin walked around the others and stood next to the operating table. "Let me take a look. You guys go wait outside for a while."

"I'll come and help too!" Haruko Asahi followed her out.

When she saw that young face after several years, Chiyo widened her cloudy eyes.

"Haruko?!"

Morning Haruko looked at the elderly man next to her and asked in confusion: "Do you know me?"

Also bewildered by her youthful appearance, a Sand Ninja raised an objection, "We know Nohara Rin, the miracle of the new generation of medical field, but as for the one next to her..."

He didn't finish his words, clearly showing his distrust of Haruko Hayama.

"idiot!"

The old voice suddenly became high-pitched. Chiyoko frowned and gave him a look of disapproval, "That's my apprentice!"

"apprentice?"

Not only did Sand Ninja have a strange expression, but Hayabusa Haruko, who had a master for no apparent reason, was also confused.

Without giving them much time to talk, Kankuro on the operating table began to struggle violently. He clasped his neck tightly with both hands, and kept making hoarse sounds from his mouth. He looked very painful.

Nohara Lin's eyes were sharp. She took off her backpack and dug out tools and materials while directing them to hold down the restless Kankuro.

Based on the instruments laid out by Nohara Rin, Haruko Asagumi roughly guessed the method she was going to use, so she asked the Sand Ninja to find the remaining necessary things, and then stood beside her to help her.

The others sat outside the operating room waiting for the results. Temari was too anxious to calm down and could only lean against the wall and pray silently.
